Godel’s incompleteness theorem
Completion of the model can never happen because… the model is within the universe, so in effect the universe would have to be larger than itself. Or you can view it iteratively: the model models the universe. The universe includes the model. The model must model itself. The model must model the model of itself……
Read MorePost-modern interpretations of the Tower of Babel
Post-modern interpretations of the Tower of Babel have viewed it as a metaphor about mutual incomprehensibility, entropy, or the futility of an appeal to the gods. “The tower of Babel does not figure merely the irreducible multiplicity of tongues; it exhibits an incompletion, the impossibility of finishing, of totalizing, of saturating, of completing something on…

Read MorePlatonia (philosophy)
In Julian Barbour’s book The End of Time: The Next Revolution in Our Understanding of the Universe, Platonia is the name given to his hypothetic entity of a timeless realm containing every possible “Now” or momentary configuration of the universe. The term can also be applied more generally to the “world of Forms” or “Plato’s…
Read MoreThe Tree of Knowledge as the Spine
“Wisdom (knowledge) is a tree of life to them that lay hold of her,” the mystery teachers said, and by “tree” they meant the human cerebrospinal system.

Neanderthals suffered periods of starvation and may have supplemented their diet through cannibalism, according to a study of remains from northwest Spain.

Can’t put down that cigarette? You have a legitimate bone to pick with your Neanderthal relatives, according to new research. Genes passed down through interbreeding between Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens are the cause of diseases including smoking addiction, Type 2 diabetes and Crohn’s disease in humans today—unfortunate repercussions of an affair that started shortly after…
Read MoreAbout Mutant Genes
The suggestion of a genetically transferable characteristic being walled off from utilization was startling. Is it possible that we carry in our cells for generation after countless generation information that is waiting only for the proper signal before emerging? And what would that signal be? When I followed the theory that the intent of man’s…

If we ascribe an observer in all of this, then we raise the obvious questions: who is the observer, and when did the observation occur? The answers may be, as surprising as it sounds, we here and now. By peering back in time, by looking out into the universe at light signals that were emitted…
